Gambling odds according to WynnBET:

  • Line: Coastal Carolina -10.5
  • Over/Under: 64
  • Moneyline: Coastal Carolina -410; Northern Illinois +310

This Tailgreeter Cure Bowl could actually be a game to determines who finishes in the top 25, as both teams have an outside shot at that. The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are receiving two votes in the Coaches Poll, and the Northern Illinois are receiving one vote in the AP Poll.

After being a candidate for the Tennessee football head coaching job last year, Jamey Chadwell had no problem putting that behind him and leading Coastal Carolina to another successful season. He didn’t win the Sun Belt, but 10 wins is a solid performance, and they were in the top 25 for most of the year.

On the other side, Thomas Hammock just led Northern Illinois to a MAC Championship his third year on the job, and he’s got the program rolling. They avenged a loss to the Kent State Golden Flashes in the MAC title game, winning in dominant fashion. Now his team has a shot at 10 wins.

Prediction

It’s hard to predict what Northern Illinois will do since they are wildly inconsistent, but Coastal Carolina hasn’t beaten any team with a winning record this year. As a result, this game will be another close matchup, but Coastal Carolina will pull it off in a shootout. Take NIU to cover, and also take the under, as Grayson McCall’s decision could prove a distraction.

Coastal Carolina: 31 Northern Illinois: 27 (Northern Illinois +10.5; Under 64)
